Tips to Keep Skin Looking Young

1. Drink Water

To keep skin looking young and rejuvenated, drink a lot of water. You should be drinking at least eight glasses or more each day to get your skin plump and dewy. If you’re not, your body won’t get the right amount of hydration you need internally, which can show up on your skin as dry, flaky patches or make complexion become dull.

2. Exercise Regularly

Jump on the treadmill and open up those pores! Working out not only helps shed dead skin, but it also revitalizes your skin cells, increasing the blood flow in your body. Exercising has also been shown to relieve stress, which is another factor in keeping your skin looking younger.

3. Stop Stressing

Stress happens to everyone on a daily basis. If you don’t manage it right, signs of stress can show up on your skin in ways you won’t like. Stress can cause skin issues to flare up including acne, psoriasis, or eczema. It can also cause redness, dry and flaky skin, and fine lines to appear. Constantly making facial expressions, like pursing your lips when you’re stressed, can also lead to deeper wrinkles overtime. Take deep breaths, relax your face, and reduce your anxiety with different activities such as meditation or yoga to de-stress.

4. Quit Smoking

Smoking is terrible for your health and your skin. Two ingredients of cigarette smoke are carbon monoxide and nicotine. Carbon monoxide displaces the oxygen in your skin and nicotine reduces blood flow, leaving your skin dry and discolored. Smoking also depletes many nutrients, including vitamin C, which helps protect and repair damage to your skin. Only way to prevent this from happening is to quit smoking. Don’t smoke and you’ll look younger longer.

5. Cut Down on Sugar

A nice shot of jelly from the inside of a soft, sugary donut; what could be better? Unfortunately, too much ice cream, candy, donuts, or any other sugar-loaded snacks can cause a spike of insulin in the body. Insulin breaks down elastin and collagen, chemicals your skin needs to stay smooth and firm. Try cutting back on the amount of sugar added to things you eat or drink regularly, your skin will thank you for it.

6. Wear Sunscreen

If you want younger-looking skin, it’s essential to wear sunscreen. Just 10 minutes of daily exposure to UV rays can cause changes in your skin that lead to wrinkles and sunspots in a short span of time. Be sure to apply sunscreen daily to block those rays from harming your skin.

7. Try Neocutis

Get your skin back on track with Neocutis! Neocutis is a skin nourishing technology, clinically demonstrated to help diminish the appearance of skin aging.
